These should be so beautiful. I had such wonderful results buying handmade watercolour so far, that I thought I would try a different seller on etsy. They get great reviews.
They swatch beautifully!
Not sure this is quite cut out for a chicken. How about one of my other obsessions? A hobbit-ish house?
The first layer started off well. Blending is lovely. Got some good strong colour right away.
The problem comes with the next layer. See that window on the right. Smudge city.
The paint lifts like crazy. One layer painting is fine, but I like to layer. sigh. They feel like they aren't bonding to the paper like regular watercolours. Some watercolours lift a bit, but it usually needs more than a hint of water. These feel like they don't have enough binder. But maybe I just choose the wrong colours?

I had no idea there was such a big difference in the makes and types of watercolor paints.
